Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Lu Li said loudly: "Let's eat first, and then talk about this matter after eating." ”

He is not high, but his identity is incomparable to several people at the table, and Zhang Xiuqin is already a little jealous of Lu Li, so as soon as he said this, everyone quieted down and ate obediently, and no one dared to mention this matter.

After the meal, Xiaoling went to the store again to get busy, and Zhang Xiuqin wanted to persuade Su Qi a few more words, so she found an excuse to stay.

"Her father, Xiaoman wants to honor your house, so you can accept it. Whether you want to live in Bishui Village or Taoyuan County, there are houses in both places, which is more convenient, what do you say? Regarding the matter of persuading Su Qi to buy a house, Zhang Xiuqin admitted that it was true.

"You know what, don't get involved in this." Su Qi drooped his eyelids and muttered a few words angrily.

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Xiuqin was not happy, she pursed her lips and shook off a few words: "What do I know?" I know more than you do! Xiaoman is full of filial piety, and wants you to live a better life, but you have to be so stubborn and ruin a piece of her heart. ”

Su Qi sulked his head and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuqin became more and more powerful, and even took out all the things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains in previous years, just to prove that Su Qi was too stubborn, so that he missed so many opportunities.

In the end, Zhang Xiuqin also had a dry mouth, she took a sip of the tea on the table, and concluded: "If you don't listen to me now, if you don't listen to the child, you will regret it sooner or later!" ”

"It's just a house, what do you regret not regretting." After this half-day education, Su Qi's attitude is not as tough as before, but he has not yet agreed to the matter of the house.

Zhang Xiuqin had no choice, she sighed, got up, and half-truthfully shook off a cruel sentence: "I'll go to the front to help first, think about it, don't regret it after Xiaoman leaves." ”

Su Qi snorted, turned his face and didn't speak.

Seeing that Zhang Xiuqin couldn't be persuaded anymore, Xiao Man's heart was as if a big stone had fallen, heavy, and there was always a sadness between his eyebrows, and he couldn't be interested in anything.

Since Zhang Xiuqin left, the atmosphere in the room has changed instantly, Xiao Manyu sat on the side, his eyes fell on the lid of the teacup, and he was fixedly distracted.

Su Qi frowned, "It's good that I live in Bishui Village, Xiaoman, you really don't have to worry." ”

After living in the village for so many years, he has long been accustomed to everything in Bishui Village, and now let him move to Taoyuan County to live, even though it is more convenient and comfortable here, Su Qi can't adapt to it in a short period of time, not to mention that he doesn't want to adapt to life here at all.

"Father-in-law, I'll talk about this matter in a few days, I'll take Xiaoman out for a walk first, and I'll be back later." As he spoke, Lu Li got up, reached out and gently tugged at Xiaoman's sleeve.

Xiao Man looked up absentmindedly, "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Li leaned over slightly and blinked, "Didn't you say that you were going to visit the shopkeeper Zhao of Tianyi Pavilion?" Now that we're fine, let's go together. ”

She did have this plan, but she didn't plan to go now......

"Where are you going? What kind of place is Tianyi Pavilion, are you very familiar with their shopkeepers? Su Qi asked a series of questions.

Lu Li patiently explained, "Tianyi Pavilion is a ready-to-wear workshop, Xiaoman's previous embroidery is sold there, and Zhao's shopkeeper is very good, so we decided to visit him early in the morning." ”

Su Qi nodded and didn't say anything.

And Xiao Man hadn't reacted to Lu Li's intentions, she frowned and looked at the man, her face full of puzzlement.

"Let's go, it's time for the Tianyi Pavilion to close in a while." Lu Li couldn't help but pull the person up, and with a little bit of strength, he took Xiao Man's hand and walked out.

Before Xiao Man could react, she was pulled out in a daze, and after subconsciously following Lu Li for a few steps, she suddenly reacted, "What can't you say in front of my father?" Why do you have to pull me out? ”

At last, she muttered in a low voice, "With such a clumsy excuse, my father would have known that you were lying with a little thought." ”

Lu Li smiled, reached out and rubbed Xiaoman's hair, and said dotingly: "You're not too stupid, I thought you would have to reflect it at night." ”

In the past, the two cooperated so tacitly, but today Xiao Man was a little annoyed by his stupidity, but Lu Li knew that Xiao Man was now thinking about the house, and he must have ignored what he meant, so he didn't blame her, just teased a few words.

"Hush." Xiao Man pursed his lips and snorted dissatisfiedly, letting Lu Li pull him forward.

Taoyuan County is not big, and the people around are also very leisurely, or drinking tea, playing cards, or holding a small bamboo basket to do embroidery work on the side, a few aunts and aunts gather on the side to talk and laugh, a few naughty children chase and play, a string of silver bell-like laughter and a slight temperature of the summer wind, people will raise the corners of their lips for no reason.

The afternoon sun was no longer as terrifying as before, and with the shade of willow trees on both sides of the road, the two people walking on the road even felt a little cool.

The sorrowful things were taken away by the summer breeze, and the whole person's mood improved.

Xiaoman, who was originally depressed, breathed a sigh of relief, her frowning brows finally relaxed, she gently shook Lu Li's hand, and after attracting the other party to turn around, she raised her lips and chuckled, "That's good." ”

"yes, that's nice." Lu Li clenched Xiao Man's hand and sighed sincerely.

This kind of state of mind and experience has never been seen in Shangjing, they walked hand in hand on the streets of the small city, let the oncoming wind blow their hair away, no one cared, just hand in hand and walked forward, the mood became more and more calm.

It would be nice if we could keep going like this, but that's obviously not the case, after all, there is an end to the road.

"Do you want to go to Shopkeeper Zhao's place to have a look?" Lu Li gently shook Xiao Man's hand and asked.

"Okay."

In this way, the two people who didn't want to return to Xiaoling's shop for the time being, turned around and wandered to the familiar street and found the familiar store.

Tianyi Pavilion's business is still as prosperous as in memory, looking at the guests who are constantly coming and going, Xiao Man stopped, stood not far away and watched, and looked sideways at the man with some embarrassment, "We go over now, I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Zhao will not have time to entertain us." ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to go and see Shopkeeper Zhao?" ”

At the beginning, the two had just gotten married, and although their livelihood was not difficult, because Xiaoman wanted to contribute to this family, they chose to sell embroidery in Zhao's shopkeeper's shop. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Zhao took care of her, and did not dislike her for being a young girl, and did not put forward overly harsh conditions, which led to a series of stories later.

Moreover, it was in this store that she met Xia Wanrou in the first place.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man nodded extremely seriously: "Of course I want to go, speaking of which, I should thank Shopkeeper Zhao well." ”

But soon, she sighed a little regretfully, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little, "But Shopkeeper Zhao seems to be very busy now, and we don't buy anything, so don't go over and bother." ”

"Do you really want to see Shopkeeper Zhao?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Man pouted, "Of course, otherwise what are we going to do here?" ”

Lu Li looked around for a while, looked up at the sun again, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a while, you can see Shopkeeper Zhao in a while." ”

Xiao Man was puzzled, looked at the man, and asked, "Why?" ”

The man didn't speak, just took Xiao Man's hand and stood not far from Tianyi Pavilion, no matter how the other party asked, he didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Xiao Man had no choice but to endure the doubts in his heart and obediently waited with Lu Li.

"Xiaoman!"

A familiar voice came from behind her, Xiao Man turned her head suspiciously, and the moment she saw Shopkeeper Zhao, her eyes widened in surprise, "Shopkeeper Zhao!" Why are you here, isn't the store busy? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao is still the same, with a robe with copper coins on a black background, and a slightly rich double chin, and small eyes narrowed into a slit, but the boss with those eyes open at this time is full of surprise.

He put away the money bag in his hand and made a gesture to salute Xiaoman and Lu Li, but before he could bend down, he was grabbed by Lu Li, so he also took advantage of the situation and said excitedly: "I thought I was wrong just now, how can you come back to this small place with such a valuable identity, especially when you turn back, I still think I am dreaming!" ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao, you are exaggerating." Xiao Man embarrassedly pinned the broken hair in his ears and then back, his cheeks slightly hot.

Goodbye shopkeeper Zhao, it seems to be back to the previous life, she and Lu Li come to Taoyuan County every few days to hand over embroidery, Zhao's shopkeeper will always be intimately divided into silver tickets and broken silver, sometimes even give her a part more, during the New Year's holiday, he will give himself extra things.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man's eyes couldn't help but moisten, she pursed her lips, and her heart was full of emotion.

"You still want to come to see me, I really didn't expect it." Shopkeeper Zhao also reddened his eyes slightly, and he looked at Lu Li, "I remember the first time I saw you, I thought you had an extraordinary bearing, but I didn't expect you to be a general, and then I heard that you were the grandfather of the country again, which is really amazing." ”

Lu Li and Xiao Man looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "At that time, I didn't expect these things to happen later, and I didn't mean to hide it from you. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he hadn't minded this matter at all.

Saying that, the shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly beckoned the two into the store, made tea and water, served all kinds of food, and after finishing it, he said: "You sit down first, and I will go to you after putting down the silver." ”

Looking at Shopkeeper Zhao's busy appearance, Xiao Man covered his lips and chuckled, looking sideways at the man, "I really didn't expect to meet Shopkeeper Zhao outside, it's too unexpected." ”

"I already knew that Shopkeeper Zhao would come." Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly proudly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a small arc.

Xiao Man blinked his eyes and was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
